COMMUNITY HOUSE FOR EMPLOYED GIRLS URGED DY RICHMOND WOMAN
The necessity of a community house or-a W. C. A. to take care of the girls In Richmond "who have no homes and are working here was emphasized at a meeting of representative persons who assembled at the Y. M. C: A. Tuesday noon In the Interests of the Y. W. C. A. Carry On drive. Mrs. A. W. Roach, chairman of the Sixth district; said that people had been generous In giving to women throughout the world, but something must be done for the several hundred glrls-ln Richmond. The urgent need of this la emphasized, she pointed out, when girls are seen wandering about on the streets at night alone or la groups. : - - ' - Mrs. Roach suggested that a house be rented and that subscriptions be taken by which persons might pay a small sum each month to pay for the upkeep of this proposed community liou9e. This house would provide housing facilities and recreation each evening and on Sundays for girls. Preceding a discussion on the matter talks were given by Miss Marguerite Merriman of Chicago, finance publicity secretary of the Y. W. C. A. In the. Central Field including Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin, and Mrs. W. C. ' Smith of Indianapolis, treasurer of the Indiana State Federation of Women's .clubs, and state speaker In the Interest of the Carry On Campaign of the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Smith spoke of the work women have done during the war and the important part of the Y. W. C. A. has taken. The women; in this organization were sought for work, she said. Hostess houses were established, women in munition plants were looked after, housing and recreation facilities were provised for the thousands of women in war work. -Mrs. Smith said: . "We must see to it that the problems that have arisen during the war are met. We must not stop, we must demobilize.. ...... "The great work at present is Americanization. We jnust make this country one great America. Foreigners must be made Americans. The Y. W. C. A. has done great work along this line. The colored people are being reached and this must continue. The women of the south have not yet realized the work that they could do
among the colored people. There Is a possibility of every race and nationality being brought up to a proper standard of living. They must have a living chance. "We must not lose the great vision that the war has given us. The war is lost If we lose the vision of what we can do. If we do the things that we are attempting to do with the same effort and vim with which the boys went to the front we will accomplish great things." - Miss Merriman discussed the business side of the drive. She said that through the war a great Interest has been created in Y. W. C. A. work and that It must be kept up. The things for which the Carry On campaign is being carried on were pointed out . Plans for the community work in the Carry On drive were outlined by Mrs. Wilfred Jessup. county chairman. The amount for Wayne county Is small and it is hoped that the sum will be obtained in a short time. This is the first drive made for money for women.
FRIENDS STATE ATTITUDE TOWARD WORLD LEAGUE
An editorial, "Our Next Step," by Walter D. Woodward, . editor of The American Friend, will appear in that paper this week, setting forth the attitude of the Friends Society in regard to the League of Nations and . presenting what the Friends must consider now that the draft of the league is before the public for discussion and approval. Dr. Woodward says: "The League of Nations promises to become the Magna Charta of the World's liberties. In our estimate it presents a masterful solution masterful because so simple and yet so adequate. After having become bewildered with the mystifying maze of perplexities presented, we are surprised at the apparent simplicity of the whole thing and wonder how It could have been otherwise. "What is our next atep as Friends? at the time President Wilson sailed for France we declared him to be "peculiarly our standard bearer." His work abroad, crystallized in this draft
of a League of Nations, has fully justified . our statement. The proposed league approaches more nearly the ideal than we had dared to hope.. "To be true, the element of force is to. be found in the instrument. Frankly, we do not see how a league would be at all possible, as yet, that absolutely Ignored all provision tor police power. But that which is provided in this draft is very far from the proposals of the past which would have made the league little else than a precariously armed neutrality. In the proposal before us, armed force, instead of being the outstanding fact, is the incident. "As Friends, we shall continue to uphold the ultimate ideal of a comity of nations based absolutely on goodwill. This ideal is surprisingly approached in . the league as proposed. To us It seems that not to support it would be to play into the hands of those who oppose the principles we hold dear. - "As we see it, the individual who withholds bis support from such a proposed league; must impale himself upon one or the other horn of a very distressing dilemma; either upon that of a narrow and fervid nationalism which stands for the old order, or, upon the levithian super-state which would but substitute one vast world armament for many national ones. Position on either horn would appear
to be as unsightly, as uncomfortable and particularly for a Friend. "May as well be fnonk and open in our motives in the matter as is the spirit of the great document we -are considering. : May we be free from cloaking partisanship in opposition to, or even lukewarmness toward, the league which is so closely identified with the president. President Wilson is not the issue In question, nor his administration. We have critized him severely in the past and may do so again. Despite the great personal achievement involved, this momentous issue is infinitely greater than personalties or politics. Shall civilization end war or shall war end civilization? This is the paramount issue of the world." .

Four hundred Wyoming officers and men of the forty-first division will be entertained at a dinner and a theatre party here next week at the expense of the Wyoming legislature.

Woodward will leave for Philadelphia tomorrow to attend an lmprtant meeting of the American Friends' service committee of which he is a member.
